  • Abstract
    EPC-II is a cooperative program sponsored by the National Science Foundation between Stanford Research Institute and three technical journals (Computing Reviews, Computing Surveys, and Sociological Quarterly) to obtain data for predicting the economic, operational, and technical feasibility of an automated Editorial Processing Center (EPC). Included in this status report are discussions of the organization of the experiment, the functions included in the EPC, design choices, practical difficulties, and questions to be answered.
